Bolt's team-mate and sprint rival Asafa Powell was said to be at the scene of the accident, but travelling in another car.

The pair competed in Oslo, Norway on Thursday, with Bolt beating Powell to gold at the Diamond League meeting.

Bolt crashed his car in 2009, rolling his BMW in a ditch and landing upside down, but escaped with minor injuries.

Carole Beckford, Bolt's publicist, says the three-time Olympic champion was returning from a party with friends in the early hours of Sunday when he was involved in a 'fender bender' in Jamaica's capital of Kingston.

Beckford said 'there were no injuries at all' and the Bolt is 'fine and resting at home'.

Both Bolt and Powell had just returned to Jamaica after competing at the Diamond League meet in Norway.
